I have had my 2KW solar panel system now for exactly a year. Purchased when the refund was 60c. per KW

Electricity price from my supplier is 21.41c/Kw for the first 1750 Kwh/quarter and 23.7c./Kw for excess of 1750 KWh

During the year I never exceeded 1750KWh/quarter. My total usage was 6800 KWh (average 16.8 Kwh/day) and as a pensioner I get 54.79c./day rebate. and Access to the grid is 50.96 c./day. Total cost of power for 12 months $1441.88

Power generated 2385 KWh (average 6.55KWh/day) at 60c/KWh $1431 giving me a net cost for power for the year of $10

I am quite happy with that for an investment of $4400
